(Coronet Photo by E. T.

Chairman Norman I. Starr told The Courier-News last night he was unable to say definitely whether or not a final recommendation would be made.

The Common Council will make the final decision on the offer, based on the committee's recom- A meeting scheduled tonight between area Jaycees and mu nicipal officials and the Plain- field Public Works Committee on the proposed Green Brook clearing has been postponed until May 29, the regular committee meeting night. Curt Hare, Dunellen Jaycee president, said last night Councilman Robert C. Maddox, committee chairman, had informed him the committee would be unable to" meet with the group until its regular session. The Jaycees and mayors from other affected municipalities were to have urged speedy action on Plainfield's approval of the proposed Green Brook project. Hare said Maddox had as sured him that, if the Public Works Committee was favorable toward committing the city to the project, the Common Council could take final action at its June 5 meeting.

Approval Delayed The council had delayed this approval pending a reply to their inquiry as to how much the city would have to pay if the cost of the work exceeded the estimated $100,000. This reply having been received last week by City Engi neer James A. Fleming the council could have taken action June 5 with or without special urging. Walter Kafka, Green Brook engineer, who has coordinated the project, has repeatedly stressed the need for prompt action lest the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers withdrew an offer to finance the entire project.

Middlesex officials also have been hesitant in giving the green light to the project and have asked for a further meeting with the engineers to determine the extent to which the borough will benefit. Will Write to Mayors Maddox told Hare he "would write to the mayors of the Middlesex and the other three af fected municipalities North Plainfield, Green Brook and Dunellen explaining the purpose of the May 29 meeting and the reason for Plainfield's de laying approval. The Army has insisted that all five municipalities agree to the project and express assurance they will maintain the brook once it is cleared. North Plain-field, Green Brook and Dunellen have approved the clearing. Hare also noted that he had been invited to a meeting between Middlesex officials and the engineers but that he has heard of no definite date.

To Note Jubilee Brith Abraham Lodge 627 will celebrate its ootn anniversary in October.

William Wolff. Mrs. Hyman Brick and Mrs. Martha Pelovitz. School Music of the local since 1939 and has been its treasurer for the past 20 years.

He has taught many notables in the field of music including Emmett Yokes, Bill Code Croup Lists Pros and Cons ui Measure More than 60 teenagers, pa rents and youth leaders debated the pros and cons of a proposed code of ethics for the city's young people last night in City Hall. A variety of approaches to the city's juvenile delinquency problem were offered at the Youth Guidance Council session. Council Chairman Homer W. Wieder presented a list of areas which the council considered worth studying as a nucleus of a youth code. These included the legal aspects of juvenile prob lems, teenage decorum, dress, dating and parties, smoking and drinking; the role of church and school, parent-youth mutual responsibility, and the purpose and function of a code.

Einhorn Cites Success Dr. Carl Einhorn, council con sultant, explained that the body sought to "integrate the effort! of the community" in combating the problem. He noted that other 'municipalities have mef with success in setting up guideposts" for their young people. He noted codes adopted in other areas. Following questions and ob servations from residents, who represented about 20 organizations, the meeting was adjourned for a month.

Those who attend ed will discuss the areas outlined with their individual groups and present their con clusions at the next meeting. The original council plan was to 'assign groups to study selected topics, following which a code would be set up based on their reports. The code would be dis tributed in conjunction with a special week in October which would focus public attention on youth problems. TJiree-Month Study Last night's meeting capped a three-month study by the council on possible solutions to the growing rate of juvenile misbehavior. Both Wieder and Einhorn stressed that any kind of code or set of "guideposts" would only be a first step in the ultimate solution.

Reservations about the wisdom of a code as such was expressed by several persons. Some suggested that goals and standards rather than "do's and dont's" were needed. The Rev. Nicholas C. Cardell Jr.

described the proceedings: "Those who don't need a guide are concocting one for those who do." Govern 'All Youth' Einhorn replied that the code would have to govern "all youth." He noted later that such guideposts would help those who had not had personal responsibility instilled in them by giving them something on which to base their personal conduct. Dr. John Lopresti, school prin cipal, said a code might reinforce parental responsibility by informing them of just what recourse they have in all situations. He noted that many parents had feared reprisals against their own children if they took action against young offenders. Wieder termed the meeting a success, contending that the tenor of opinion expressed recognized the need for a com munity wide effort.

Mayor Richard P. Dyckman offered the cooperation of his office and the Common Council. Rescue Squad Reports PLAINFIELD SQUAD Mrs. Emma Harine of 945 W. Sixth St.

Raymond F. Kirchner, chairman of the Parking Authority, today announced the decision of that body to acquiesce to a suggestion by the Parking Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Starting tomorrow, the rate for the first 30 minutes will be cut in half from 10 cents to 5 cents. This lower rate is now in effect on other Authority lots. The new charee for the sec ond 30 minutes at the No.

6 lot will be 10 cents, making a total of 15 cents for the first hour. The second hour, under the new rate, will cost 10 cents, making a total of 25 cents for the first two hours the same as before. Each half -hour thereafter will be 10 cents, which is also the same as previously. Many complaints were heard because the original rate schedule called for the payment of 15 cents after the first half hour, regardless of whether a parker was there a few minutes over the 30 minutes allowed for 10 eents, or if the parker stayed another lYz hours. The two-hour rate on the lot is 5 cents more than is charged on the Authority's metered lots.

This differtial is necessary, the Authority chairnfen points out, because of the increased cost of attendants. The attendant-collection plan is now in its third experimental week. The lot formerly operated with meters and no attendants. The experiment was tried at the suggestion of merchants, and others, who believed the attendant system would be more popular with parkers. Under the attendant system a parker can remain indefinitely if he wants to pay at the rate of 10 cents per half hour beyond the first two hours.

The Chamber's parking committee, headed by Walter P. Swain met recently to review reports from merchants and to discuss the views and reaction of shoppers. Kirchner today said his group was endeavoring to operate the parking lots in the best interests of the city and that it was willing to try out suggestions made by the committee. Kirchner pointed out, how- mendation. The archdiocese is seeking land roughly bordered by E.

Third St. Nicholas Seneca PI. and Terrill Rd. as a site for a high school, part of an extensive building program planned throughout the archdio cese. The matter was referred for study to the tax committee, since it handles all proposed land sales.

After the Rt. Rev. Charles B. Murphy, pastor of St. Bernard's Church, and representing the archdiocese, personally present ed the church offer to the council, March 20, Council President John R.

Shallow said the matter should be given "priority consid eration." At a public hearing held by the committee Apr. 6, Msgr. Murphy indicated the archdio cese was hoping for a prompt reply to its offer, since another school site would have to be ob tained if the offer were rejected The estimated enrollment for the proposed high school is 1,000 initially, about 400 of which would be expected to come from Plainfield. During his pres entation to the council, Msgr. Murphy said the city might save as much as $176,000 a year in education costs with the new facility.

The property sought by the archdiocese is part of a 34-acre tract in which the Board of Education, the Recreation Commission and the Housing Authority have expressed interest. Starr noted a flat "yes or no" answer to the archdiocese request would not necessarily follow the committee's study but it. was possible an alternate arrangement would be offered. Tools Reported Stolen Westfield A quantity of tools value unknown, were reported stolen from John-Kep- pler, 677 North yesterday. Patrolman James Shovlin Problems Kiwanis Judge Notes Workhouse Advantages The hope that the Union County freeholders would set up a county workhouse, or provide prisoners with work projects to aid in their rehabilitation, was expressed yesterday by Magistrate Warren J.

The magistrate also said he would send Albert Robinson, 22, of 950 W. Third to a county workhouse if the county had one.

'Instead, he fined him $50 and suspended a 30-day jail term. Robinson pleaded guilty to a drunk and disorderly charge brought by his mother, Mrs. Martha Robinson, who said he had broken dishes and upset furniture at their home.

Schaedel of 175 Columbia music teacher in the North Plainfield elementary school system and member of the American Federation of Musicians Local 746 of Plain-field, was honored last night by Local 746 in Wally's Tavern on-the-Hill, Watchung. Irving Fenner, president of the Bandstand Music Corpora tion of westfield and a former pupil of Schaedel's told an audience of 250 persons attend ing the dinner-dance that from Schaedel "we've learned that music can be fun."

Other speakers who paid tribute to Schaedel, was Herman Cleusmann, secretary of the American Federation of Musicians; George Clancy, treasurer of the federation; William F.

Sayre and Andrew Mingione, past presidents of the local, and William Renz, president of the local. John Spisso, vice president of the local, was master of ceremonies. Schaedel has been a member Muhlenberg Board Given April Report Muhlenberg Hospital admit ted 1,688 patients during April, according to a report made by Dr. Joseph Gannon, chief-of staff, at a board of governors meeting last night. Gannon compared this 1961 record with 1,659 admissions during April a year ago.

Lovell Bixby of Trenton, a consultant on probation and parole in the state's Administrative Office of the Courts. There seems to be a general feeling that putting people in prison is the right thing to do, the speaker said. "He got exactly what" he deserved," is a common expression, Bixby declared, but he added "can we afford to give him what he deserves?" The average cost of keeping a man in prison is $2,000 a year and, if the individual is married, society must also take care of the family in one way or another, the speaker declared. Prison life makes it more difficult for an individual to return to normal life and be a good citizen because he is idle most of the time, banished from society and contacts that would improve him, Bixby asserted. Once a person has been in prison he no longer fears it," the speaker said.

"Sending a first offender to an institution takes out, the fear of imprison ment forever. Between 60 and 65 per cent of those in prisons and reformatories are repeaters." Instead of long prison terms, the speaker pointed out that judge could impose fines or place prisoners on probation. Those whose terms are shortened with the prisoner going out on parole have a chance to make good. "A person on probation is not free," Bixby said. "He needs permission to do almost everything." Victor J.

Podesta introduced the speaker. He was thanked by Carlyle W. Crane. Birthday greetings were extended Frank M. Turner and Norman E.
